Chapter 1248 trouble

Spain, who was beaten by the Ming Dynasty, first asked France for help. Unfortunately, France did not help Spain. It was even more because the Spanish genocide in Luzon was too big. On the contrary, they hurriedly left themselves clear.

In desperation, the Spanish king sent an envoy to contact the Ming Dynasty, hoping to end the hostilities between the two countries with a decent end after the Battle of Luzon, and at the same time he was willing to pay a certain price.

After obtaining the approval of the court, Pan Mengyuan started negotiations with the other party. This negotiation forced the Spaniards to ced a piece of land in the southwest of Xinming. At this cost, the Spaniards finally received "forgiveness" from the Ming Dynasty.

After that, Xinming temporarily entered a stable state. With the cessation of expansion, Xinming began to focus more on internal affairs. Later, Zhu Yicheng decided to transfer Pan Mengyuan back to the local area, Wang Dong served in Xinming, and began to set up a province in Xinming to strengthen the court's local rule over Xinming.

All this seems normal and is in line with the interests of the Ming Dynasty. However, many things in this world cannot be decided by just a country. The reason why international affairs are international affairs is because of interest disputes between countries, and they will also have continuous impacts.

As the Ming Dynasty became stronger and the continuous outward attitude it showed, these made European countries feel a strong sense of crisis.

Last year, the Ming Dynasty discovered the Southern Continent, which is the Australian Continent, in the south of the South China Sea, and at the same time began the decision to develop the Southern Continent.

News of this decision quickly spread to Europe. European countries naturally had strong reactions to the momentum of the rapid expansion of the Ming Dynasty. Although these countries did not formally object to the strength of the Ming Dynasty, their defense and vigilance towards the Ming Dynasty continued to rise.

Because of the issuance and development decisions of the Southern Land, European countries have a strong sense of crisis, especially the European countries intend to propose to the Ming Dynasty to jointly develop the Southern Land, hoping that the Southern Land and the New World will generally divide their forces, but they are directly opposed by the Ming Dynasty, and their defenses will be stronger for the Ming Dynasty.

In the New World, it is divided into North and South, that is, North America and South America.

South America was the first discovered by European countries, among which the first arrival and establishment of colonies were countries such as Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands. France and Britain were latecomers. They came to the New World relatively late, so they chose North America when competing for colonies.

South America has always been called Latin America because since the 15th century, this land was occupied by countries such as Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands. Most of the languages ​​spoken by these countries are Portuguese and Spanish. This language belongs to the Latin family, so it is called Latin America.

In North America, the language families of France and Britain are different. If the Ming Dynasty had not emerged in this era, then the main forces in North America in the future would be France and Britain. Moreover, the two countries launched many wars to compete for the ownership of North America. The war lasted for a hundred years, until the end of Europe finally gave the British the upper hand due to the internal reasons of France.

But even so, the British ultimately failed to gain North America because the American War of Independence broke out, which caused the British to lose their dominance over North America, and at the same time, a new country was created, that is, the birth of the United States.

Afterwards, Britain tried to control American politics and continued to have a political impact on North America, and France also did the same. This struggle from openness changed from a struggle on the political level after the birth of the United States and continued until the Civil War.

These words seem to be a bit far-reaching, but in short, whether it is France, Britain, or the countries in South America, these countries have been constantly fighting for the ownership of the American continent. However, due to the sudden intervention of the Ming Dynasty, the situation began to change. At the beginning, all parties were curious about this emerging power, and they also hoped to pull the Ming Dynasty into their own camp through the Ming Dynasty and cause some trouble for their opponents.

At the beginning, they did do this, but over time they discovered that the Ming Dynasty and European countries were essentially different.

First of all, the expansion of the Ming Dynasty in Xinming was too fierce. In a blink of an eye, the Ming Dynasty occupied such a vast territory, which made all countries very prepared for defense.

Secondly, the Ming Dynasty's policies in Xinming were different from those in European countries. European countries adopted colonial strategies overseas except for their localities, while the Ming Dynasty adopted the same strategies as the locals.

Finally, the Ming Dynasty first tied with France in North America, and then took Luzon in the Far East. Now, the Ming Dynasty discovered the Southern Land and planned to monopolize the Southern Land and excluded the Western countries, which frightened the Western countries. In their opinion, the Ming Dynasty seemed to have infinite potential and had the idea of ​​annexing the world. If the Ming Dynasty continued like this, then how could there be the possibility of survival of European countries?

It is precisely for this reason that European countries began to connect privately a few months ago, and the purpose of the connectivity was to curb the continuous expansion of the Ming Dynasty and the increase in influence around the world.

In the Far East, the Ming Dynasty had local advantages and the Western countries were beyond the reach. However, in Xinming, that is, North America, the Ming Dynasty was better at dealing with it. It is precisely for this reason that North America, including Western countries in South America, are now imposing restrictions on Xinming from military to commercial aspects. These restrictions seem to be not strong, but Wang Dong, who has a keen sense of smell, soon discovered this problem and became highly alert.

According to information, France, the United Kingdom, Spain, the Netherlands, and Portugal seem to have formed a private alliance, first of all, restricting the business of the Ming Dynasty in Xinming. The main content of the restrictions is the restriction on Xinming's trade products, the increase in the tax proportion, etc.

In addition, countries also took some military actions, especially for the Ming Dynasty's borders between the New Ming Dynasty, Spain, France, and Britain, the borders between the three countries began to increase checkpoints, build forts, send more troops to garrison, and even restrict people from entering and leaving the country. Although these were not directed on the Ming Dynasty, but mainly targeted local Indians, Wang Dong was not a fool. Combined with a series of intelligence, how could he not understand?

Now, the establishment of Xinming province has officially started, and immigration from local and Japanese places is also increasing. According to Wang Dong's original plan, he was going to take this opportunity to further strengthen the internal construction of Xinming. However, due to the changes in the policy of Western countries against the Ming Dynasty in the New World, the original plan encountered a lot of trouble.
